Jacaranda FM Carols by Candlelight is today!
Kick off the Festive Season on a high note with SA's top artists.
A stellar cast – including Lloyd Cele, Kurt Darren, Elvis Blue, Charlize Berg and Swing City in Pretoria, ChianoSky, Richard Stirton, Ross from Prime Circle, Kahn from the Parlotones, and Swing City in Johannesburg – will join voices (and forces) with the Soweto Gospel Choir for the 2016 Jacaranda FM and Spar Carols by Candlelight event.
The event takes place at two venues, as usual: Loftus Versfeld Stadium in Pretoria on Thursday, 1 December and again at the Bidvest Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg, on 3 December.
Entrance is free, but members of the public are encouraged to contribute a new toy (not wrapped) in lieu. The toys collected will be delivered to three selected charity organisations – Child Welfare Tshwane, Heartbeat and Hanna Charities.
According to Jacaranda FM’s General Manager, Kevin Fine, “The annual Carols by Candlelight is a huge highlight on our calendar, attended by thousands of people each year. It’s a privilege to not only share this special time with our listeners, but also to spread the festive cheer to those who are less fortunate. In 2015, we collected 289 boxes of toys and over R60 000 in cash for children in need. In 2016 we hope to collect even more.”
